That being said, I would try it just for the gross out factor. I'd try 'em first after the high grade kicked in. I would then try again later so I could see if they were really as bad as I thought? Or is it the smoke doing the talking? Even more disturbing is the very real possibility that I might actually like the horrifying little things. Justifying White Castle is one thing, these things are another matter entirely....

imo it's the chocolate chips that make it dumb. actually the whole thing is because most people like to have the traditional feel of pancakes and links on a plate that they have to cut with a knife and fork

It reminds me of being back in public school during lunch, when all of my friends would sit around me in the cafeteria and make fucking horrifying combinations of all the different food they got and share it. They'd always ask me to tryit, and other than the fact that I didn't want to put my mouth on something they all took bites out of ("Ugh. You guys, you're all going to get mono.") they'd have things like sausage and peaches on a hamburger bun or they'd take apart a wrap and stuff it with ketchup and chicken and french fries and beans. Actually, I think that one was a favorite.

I'm so glad I'm home-schooled. x_x;.

As far as people from the US eating sausage and pancakes, back when I ate pork I was definitely guilty of eating them at the same time, but not in the same bite, if that makes any sense. But, ew, who the hell puts syrup on sausage? I feel like that's just asking for diabetes or something. D:

I have to admit, there is nothing like mixing up the pancakes, sausage, bacon, and eggs on one plate! Mmmm, mmmm good! We have maple cured bacon and sausage for Pete's sake...so why not throw a bit of the liquid goodness on top?

Pancakes, sausage, syrup: The McGriddles is the brand name for a breakfast sandwich available at McDonald's in the United States, Canada, and Japan. All McGriddles sandwiches feature "griddle cakes" as the baked product that holds it together. These are similar to small pancakes, but also contain an injection of maple-flavored syrup deep inside their griddle folds. ___________Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McGriddles

I'm confused. I thought you had traveled quite a bit in the States. If so you were obviously not hobnobbing with the locals enough. This is all quite routine here in the Land of the Free.

You must have me confused, Philly. I've only ever been to the West Coast and Hawaii, and that was way back in early '89. Man, I'm getting old.

As for cucumber sandwiches and baked beans for breakfast, they are English 'delicacies', so don't tar me with that brush. Vegemite, I'll concede, but I'm struggling to think of too many other bizarre foods or combinations that we consume. I'm sure we do, but they just don't seem bizarre to me as they are commonplace.

Don't get me wrong, I love sausages, love bacon, love eggs and pancakes. I'd just never thought of putting them all together on the one plate and then drown them in maple syrup. A stomach turning thought indeed.

You put the syrup on the pankakes you daft boy...not on everything. What do you put on your pancakes little one?

Okay!!! Queenie and PozA enough already! Those of us who live in an area experiencing a "dry spell" do not appreciate having it rubbed in that they are hard up

I will let my friend, Commander Cody, put it into poetic persective

"Well my dog died yesterday and left me all alone And the finance company dropped by today and reposessed my home But that's just a drop in the bucket gal compared to loosing you And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too...."

I rarely eat pancakes, but if I do it is usually maple syrup, and if I have the munchies I'll add some cream to that. Otherwise, butter and sugar, or sugar and squeezed lemon, or butter, sugar and lemon.

I suppose I should not get too cocky as my favourite breakfast of all time is/was lambs brains (crumbed and pan fried) and bacon. I say, was, because it is all but impossible to get fresh lambs brains in Aus these days as they have to be tested for cjd (or cdj, whichever it is). The frozen ones just don't cut the mustard as far as I'm concerned. My people (even Aussies) are grossed out by this, but it was a family tradition on Saturday mornings. I used to love rolling around in bed to the aroma of lambs brains on the frypan.

Nowadays, I have to settle for poached eggs on turkish, with a side of bacon, chipolatas and half an avacodo from my favourite cafe, SPQR. Yummy.

My medical records say Eating Disorder. I would not eat it on anorexic days but would consume several cases on Bullemic days. Have the best dayMichael(Who believes the 4 major Food Groups include Chocolate, Pate, Beer and Potato Chips)
